Hermetic-Pumpen GmbH, located in the Black Forest town of Gundelfingen near Freiburg, was recognised with the “Russian oil and gas industries’ best centrifugal-pump manufacturer for 2013” award during the NefteGasPererabotka conference for Russian refineries. The award was presented recently in Moscow and is the result of an independent survey involving 60 Russian refineries.
For over fifty years now, the “canned motor pump” has been synonymous with the safe handling of media worldwide, which, in the event of a leak, can have destructive consequences for the environment and can be lifethreatening. The leakproof design, avoidance of conventional shaft seals, and typical double containment shell offer the user the best possible protection from damage caused by escaping pumped media.
Hermetic pumps provide reliable service for years and often for decades. Canned motor pumps are known for their high Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF). In practice, MTBF is up to four times higher compared to similar conventionally sealed pumps.
The liquid ring vacuum pump is one of the workhorses in the chemical and petrochemical industry. The construction provides a nearly isothermal compression at comparatively low temperatures. Polymerisation and other undesirable reactions (thermal cracking, cakings) are largely avoided under these conditions.
Hermetic-Pumpen GmbH has set out guidelines for the further development and expansion of the company, as agreed at a general meeting. Substantial investment in the site in Gundelfingen and extensive restructuring are planned.
With the new series CN…B, CNF…B und CNK…B, HERMETIC presents enlarged standard series in modular construction principle up to 126 kW. The new B-Series replaces and extends after five years the successful A-Series.
BASF AG, one of the world’s leading chemical corporations appreciates long-term relationships with suppliers, as this ensures smooth handling and fixed prices.
HERMETIC Pumpen manufactures high quality seal-less centrifugal pumps. The company sees the monitoring of the quality standards as an essential element of the close customer relations. Therefore, each pump produced undergoes detailed inspections before it is delivered.
The application range of canned motor pumps includes plants in which hazardous, toxic and/or explosive mixtures form or carcinogenic substances have to be moved in pipe systems. Such pumps have to be provided with the best possible safety and monitoring devices. The expenditure required to protect both humans and operating equipment is always justified.
LEDERLE – HERMETIC established a contract with the American Pump & Machine Works, Inc. as authorized service workshop for the products of the group.
